Phosphorus may rarely be seen as P, but it will usually be seen as white or red phosphorus, both of which are P4. White P4 is a tetrahedral structure. Red P4 is a chain-like structure, where one of the bonds from white P4 is broken and joined with a neighboring P4.
S8 P4 etc. H2SO4 is also a polyatomic molecule.
The compound name of KF is potassium fluoride.

Tetro phosphate disulfide
This molecule of phosphorus can be called a tetrahedron of phosphorus.
P4 is not a compound, it is an allotrope (form of a pure element) of phosphorus consisting of covalently bonded atoms.
It has a few names:Tetraphosphorus TrisulfidePhosphorus SesquisulfidePhosphorus Trisulfide.see related links.
its NOT polar, i just had that question on a quiz and i got it wrong
Most molecules are compounds but not all. Some molecules such as O2 and P4 are elements.
No, not compounds, they all are polyatomic elements
P4+Cl2 P4+Cl2
In an expression p4 is called a term.
Assuming that you are combining the P4 with Cl2 and there is a suffiecient quantity of Cl2 for the P4 to completely react, you will first need a balanced equation which is P4 + 10Cl2 -> 4PCl5. From there, it's mostly stoichiometry. Take the 24g of P4, divide by the molar mass (123.88g/mol) to get the number of moles of P4 that you have (0.194). You then have to convert, using the balanced equation, from moles of P4 to moles of PCl5, in this case multiplying by 4. That will give you the number of moles of PCl5. The stoichiometry should look something like this 24.0 g P4 x (1 mol P4/123.88g P4) x (4 mol PCl5/1 mol P4).
